Mohammed Al Habtoor´s team defeated Zedan by 7 goals to 6 in
overtime and Bin Drai won their game against Mahra 14 goals to 9.
We had an exciting
afternoon at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club with two great polo matches
for the Gold Cup tournament.
Bin Drai and Habtoor Polo
where the winners of the matches played today. Saeed Bin Drai´s team defeated
Mahra by 14 goals to 9 while Mohammed Al Habtoor´s team made the same against
Zedan by 7 goals to 6 in overtime.
The match between Bin
Drai and Mahra was full of exciting moments and goals. The game played by this
two teams is, until the moment, the top scored match in the Dubai Polo Gold
Series 2013.
Mahra made a great half
time, taking a difference of three goals at the end of the second chukka (7-4).
But a great reaction by Bin Drai turn things over and the scoreboard had them
as leaders during the second half of the game.
A great performance by
Juan José Brane, with 8 goals, four in the last chukka, made things easier for
Bin Drai´s victory.
In the second match of
the day, Habtoor Polo and Zedan brought another great game to the crowd in the
Dubai Polo & Equestrian Team.
With a constant coming
and going in the actions and the goals both teams brought great polo to the
main field of the club.
Nachi Heguy in Zedan and
Ezequiel Martínez for Habtoor had outstanding performances this afternoon.
With a one goal
difference in the fourth chukker, Heguy took the game to overtime after scoring
a great goal.
But in the extra chukker
it was Martínez turn to answered with another great move to give Habtoor Polo
the victory and a good chance to reach the semifinals of the Gold Cup.
The Gold Cup returns on
Monday with two new matches. At 2.30 Habtoor Polo will face Bin Drai and at 4
pm Abu Dhabi plays against Zedan, both matches will be held at the Dubai Polo
& Equestrian Club.
